I frequently use a hand to push myself up if I’m sitting on the ground especially if I’ve done some exercise and my legs are tired. Finding a strategy that works for you is what’s important. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #groundtostanding

Having a young granddaughter means that I get up and down off the ground pretty often because that’s where she hangs out. When my shoulder was in a sling that made it a little harder. When we stop doing this stuff it bails on us in a hurry. #agingshouldntsuck #afriendlynudge #groundtostanding

So much of mobility is just playing around and figuring out what works. Obviously you have to avoid injury but I think we’re probably heartier than we realize. #agingshouldntsuck #mobility #groundtostanding #afriendlynudge

Getting up without using your hands is great but the critical thing is finding a safe way to get up. If it means using your hands don’t worry about that. Just find something that works and practice it. #agingshouldntsuck #startwhereyouare #groundtostanding #afriendlynudge
